The drawings in this sketchbook are mostly of Pembrokeshire landscape subjects, but also include further studies for the Tate's war painting 'Furnaces', 1944. It seems probable that the Pembrokeshire sketches were almost all, made in the course of Sutherland's visit to Pembrokeshire in August - September that year. The stylised drawing of a man with a Picasso-like head may have been added later, perhaps as late as 1949. There is a loose front or back cover to a sketchbook which may have come from this one. On its inside a schematic drawing in pencil of tubular and oval forms which could be pieces of machinery in a foundry. The binding is loosely stitched with black threads which do not match up with any of the Tate's sketchbooks.
